for those who have vista upgrade 'coupons' and what not....

mods please leave this here for a day or so....

anyways, billionfold just found out the hardway and when you install vista through the 'free upgrade' option, your xp becomes invalidatable.... meaning you can no longer use it.

since vista really does suck monkey balls.... I HIGHLY SUGGEST no one 'upgrades' (since it'd be a downgrade) just letting everyone know... before you find out the hard way too

My god vista is bad. Stay with XP for about 2 years, until Vista is fixed, and we all have PC's that don't slow to a crawl under the strain.

Vista isn't bad at all, it does have some issues but no more than Windows 98 did, or Windows XP did when they were first released. Most of the issues people have suffered are through gaming. This isn't entirely Vista's fault either, it's to do with some driver issues or lack of from GFX card manufacturers. I can tell you now, my next PC upgrade will be a Vista machine. DX10 is were it's at.

I agree it is wrong to make your copy of XP invalid through using this Vista coupons thing. I did hate Vista when i first read about it, I now feel it's on the right track.

my dad is having the same problem with vista....hes a computer technition/ internet technition... for an office of about 50 people, and then they also sell out there internet to about 18 homes(they plan on building a tower, to sell internet to the local town and what not)

but anyways... he ordered 3 computers 2 with vista... one vista computers went to the cop station(this is on a indian reservation, and they have their own police force) and they couldnt get the printers or scaners or digital cammeras or anything else to work on the new cmp.... because of the vista... cause it all worked just fine when they had it running on XP... but yea.. so far i will wait until all the bugs are worked out... and they have drivers for everything to be instaled on vista...

i dont understand wat ur saying u say"when you install vista through the 'free upgrade' option, your xp becomes invalidatable.... meaning you can no longer use it" are u saying that u cannot use both xp and vista at teh same time or that u can never go back to xp? if ur saying u can't use both then thats obvious unless u do a dual boot, and it is totally possible to revert back to xp using the recovery cd's that u should have burned or u can call the manufactuer and purchase them. also i believe but am not %100 but i remember hearing sumitn about it but i think there is a feature to just revert back to xp if u don't like vista.
